Came home to find a wonderful package of samples waiting for me, so my sniffer will be busy tomorrow.
Tonight though, Chanel Pour Monsieur - a fragrance I really wear far too infrequently.

It's been a beautiful day here, too gandhajala; low 70s, sunny, a bit breezy ...very nice. I sure wish I could send some your way, so I'm sending warm and sunny thoughts instead.

I've been in Priscilla Presley's woefully unappreciated Roses and More this afternoon ...yet another one I need to move to the front of the shelf.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

Congratulations Jon! A fabulous achievement for a great basenoter.

Sotd - Osmanthe Yunnan
Sote - Voyage d'Hermes

Been neglecting basenotes over the last few days. Chiefly because I have a new diversion - actually two new diversions - a pair of adorable kittens, part of a litter left abandoned in a cardboard box They are so cute, but they're wearing me out! Worth it though.

Devilcat, keep them please? I know nobody (or, nothing) will replace the real devilcat, but, perhaps, one of the two will develop some tendencies as time goes by? And I realize the memories are still very fresh and may hurt. Bittersweet feeling, them new kittens. (Hugs)

Re: SotD: Tuesday 20th November 2012

Fear not everyone, the kittens are staying with us forever, or until they decide otherwise. We got them from the rescue centre a few days ago. I wasn't sure I was ready for another cat but my SO was quite keen. He loved the tabby straightaway, and I couldn't resist the other. I said I wouldn't have another cat that looked like Baxter, but saw this little black scrap at the shelter and there was nothing more to be said. It is very strange having kittens after caring for a 20-year old cat, but it's great to have pets again. Thankfully we didn't replace any furniture after Baxter died!

Names have an astronaut theme - Buzz (the black one) and Yuri! Dearest Baxter is staying as my avatar.
